Williamston Niaid> "Being in Ander? son City on the third Sunday in;'the month, we accepted an invitation ' to preach to tbe inmates of our County Poor House. A delightful drive of about four miles brought us to tbe place, where, in? stead of the squalor and discomfort that .weexpectsd-to,witness, we-found every evidence of comfort and care for the un? fortunate1 wards of the County. The buildings, the furniture, the fare and the kindness that these indigent fellow-citi? zens enjoy at the hands of our authorities are worthy of our civilization; <and we came away from the place with far higher appreciation of the character of our peo? ple than we had before. It was an unu? sual pleasure to direct tbe hearts of, our afflicted hearers to the hopes of better things offered in the gospel to the neediest children of enrth on the same free terms as to the occupants of palaces."

R.," in theEaaley Messenger,says: "Thegroup of Presbyterians in Slabtown' have shown in all this matter a wonderfal energy. Without heralding their purpose to the world, only about six months ago they ordered the first bill of lumber for the new church, and to-day she stands com? plete in all her equipments as a Churoh of Jesus Christ, except blinds and a stove*, at a cost of less than $800 and only a debt of $80 hanging over her at the bank. The new Church starts out with a mil corps of officers, a live minister, a large Sunday School (over 100 names on the roll), and a thickly settled community .in which to operate." '??'-'* The death ?f M. Baxter Clinkscales, Esq., which occurred at the'residence of Mr. H.G. Johnson in this dty last -Fri? day morning, at 5 o'clock, was a great shook to his friends, as only a few of them knew of his illness. A week or ten days preceding his death he was attacked with measles, and was getting along very well until he contracted pneumonia, which was the cause of his death. Mr. Clink scales was 34 years of age, and was the youngest son of the late Maj. Abner Clinkscales. In 1875 be graduated from Erakine College, at Due West, with dis tinction, having taken three medals. Af? ter leaving College he tanght school for several years at Cross Roads Church in this County, and was very popular with both his patrons and pupils. Having de? cided to take up the profession of law, he gave np his school and came to this city, where he entered the office of Maj. John B. Moore. He pursued His studies dili? gently, and in May, 1884, was admitted to the bar, since which time he has practiced his profession in Anderson. Last Janua ry he formed a copartnership with S. M. Pickens,' Esq;, Mr: Clinkscales was a : quiet, unassuming guntloman, and won the esteem and respect of overy one with whom he became acquainted. He was strictly upright and bonorablo in all Iiis dealings with his fellow-men, and pos? sessed all the characteristics of a true gentleman. His-remains were carried to Starr, -on the. S.. V. P.. R., Friday after? noon ,<aTpd were accompanied by a com? mittee of .the younger members of the Anderson bar. On Saturday his remains were interred in ;the Cross Roads grave? yard, Rev. i>. E. Frierson, D. D., conduct? ing the funeral services. The Cemetery. A public. meeting of the citizens of Anderson was held in the Court House last Thursday morning to confer with our City Council .in reference to purchasing a j public cemetery. Mayor Tolly called the meeting to order, and in a few explanatory remarks,* stated that the Council had de? cided to purchase a public cemetery, and had called the meeting in order to get some expression from our citizens and to hear any suggestions that might be made. A number of citizens gave their views in reference to the matter, and endorsed the action of the Council. Mr. ? J. D. Maxwell then offered the following resolution, which was unani? mously adopted: Resolved, That the action of the City Council, in deciding to purchase grounds for a cemetery be approved as a step taken in the right direction to supply a want long felt by this community, and that they be requested, if they have the power, to pass such an ordinance as will prevent any interment in the graveyards of the Churches of the city, save by those who have already secured family burying plats therein, the ordinance to take effect after the cemetery has been established, and that the City Council be requested to look into the propriety of purchasing suitable burying grounds for the colored people. A special committee from the City Coun? cil is now engaged in selecting a suitable TjIbcb" for" the cemetery. Several places have been offered the committee, but no certaic.lcxation has as yet been decideu upon. Aj Boon as the committee .decide upon the location, a report will be made to the Council and, if approved, the grounds will be purchased and the ceme? tery opened at once, j C ?jj Memorial Day In Anderson. It was a happy idea that prompted Miss Leuora Hubbard, the accomplished prin cipal of the Home Sohool'on Evins street, to observe "Memorial-Day.;': It-has been a number of yearslsinoe tlus'day was observed in Anderson, and since she con? ceived the idea of commemorating the day, her pupils and patrons" have looked; foward to it with no little degree of pleas? ure, j. r- j -' , We were the recipient of an invitation to be present to witness the exercises, which were announced to begin at 2 o'clookfpfiTuesday afternoon. Prompt? ly at that hour we arrived at the school? room, and-fonnd a goodly number of the 1 ja^on8^eady,as^(jmbled. s f w ]J The school-house presented an interest? ing spectacle. The happy countenances ' of the students, both girls and boys, who were dressed in a!very simple but pretty uniform, told us that the occasion was to "be one of Teal pleasure,' and in this we were not disappointed. On being ush ered" in and provided with a comfortable seat, we were charmed with the tasteful deco? rations. The hall and two recitation rooms had been thrown into one, at the end CT^which was tbe stage. At the back of the stage hung two large pictures of tbe Confederate chieftains, R. E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson. Over these pictures, and amid wreaths of beautiful flowers and evergreens, were suspended the battle-flag of the Confederacy, and two flags which belonged to companies 'from- Anderson' County, both of whioh had been carried through the war. By the side of the pic? tures hung two old canteens, which are now sacr6dly preserved as relics of the "Lost Cause." Upon the breast of each pupil was pinned a miniature Confederate' battle-flag. - - . The exercises were opened by the whole school appearing upon the stage, and each pupil reciting an appropriate little verse or quotation. .;: The following programme was then rendered: Calisthenics, by the small pupils. Song?"Just Before tbe Battle." Concert Recitation?"The Blue and the Gray." Speech?"The Conquered Banner"?by Master Berry Wilson. Recitation?"Confederate Money"?by Miss Maggie Fretwell. Speech?"The Soldiers' Suit of Gray" by Master Harry Orr. Recitation?"Our Conquered Banner"? by Miss Leila Beaty. Address by Col. J. G. Clinkscales.' Reading?"Stonewall Jackson's Grave" ?by Miss Minnie Wilson, Speech?"The Confederate Dead"?by Master Claud Dlokson. Recitation?'-Richmond on the James" ?by Miss Estelle McKinney. Speech?'*The- Soldiers*" Graves"?by Master Fretwel? <?a e?t? \J S ? ?5 Song-by the boys, with chorus by tbe little girls.._ -?"Wand^rtH'by'the larger pnplter""~~ " The programme was a very interesting one, and the exercises wer^highly enjoy^i ed by the spectators. : The pnpils acquit? ted themselves admirably, not only re? flecting credit upon themselves but upon their accomplished teacher, who deserved the, congratulations extended' to her by those-pfesent. " 2 At the conclusion of the exercises at the school house, the pupils, accompanied by a number of the patrons, marohed to the cemeteries in the city. The friends and patrons of the school had provided an abundance of beautiful wreaths, crosses and other floral tributes,; and these1, together with a miniature Confederate, battle flag, .were placed upon the graves of our sleeping heroes.. The graves of the Federal dead were also decorated, and a miniature U. S. flag placed thereon. It Is very commendable in Miss Hub? bard, we think, in reviving this celebra? tion in'Anderson, and we hope that in each successive year to come It will be kept up.

Upland corn has received its first work? ing and bottom land is about all planted, and ootton.isjery: generally up to a stand. Farming seemato be well advanced for the season, and farmers are better up with their work, than usual, Wheat is looking fine, and the warm showers are helping spring oats to stretch up high enough to cut. , If seasons . from now on continue good, a lair crop of ?ats will be made notwithstanding the winter killing of those sown in the fall. A number of persons about here own carp ponds, and axe indulging in tbe lux? ury of home raised fish. We had the pleasure this week of fish? ing in two ponds, Mr, S. L, Eskew's and *Mr. John L. Jolley's. In Mr. Eskew's we hooked one of the finny beauties that broke our line and almost straightened the hook, but we saved it just the same. James Clark, an aged colored man living near here, dieu Sunday, May 1st, and was buried the day following at tbe colored bury ing ground at tbe old original Sandy Springs. He commanded tbe re? spect of all wbo knew him, and his burial was largely attended by both white and colored. Mr. George C. Pattei"son, who lives near Seneca, passed up the road Friday evening, Gth inst., carrying the remains of his son home for burial. "Tat," as he is familiarly known, is a tried and trusted friend, and we, together with a host of others, extend him our heartfelt sympathy in his bereavement. Relapse of measles was tbe cause of the young man's death. Capt. "Billy" Smith, the gentlemanly conductor on this road, has lately donned a new uniform, and had his whiskers trimmed to side whiskers, and now pre? sents quite a stylish appearance. Mrs. H. N.

With first or May expires the Jirst Ann days of the time allowed by the County Commissioners for working the pnlilk roads, and some roads, one in particular, and it is an important one, being a church, mill and market-road, has not had any thing done to it, if we except it being planted in cotton to within about four feet of the center a considerable distance. Some overseers have followed tho law and made the roads twenr.y feet wide, re? gardless of whose land they wore going through, while others, as soon as they were through their neighbor's land, dropped off to ten or twelve feet. "Hew to the line and let the chips fall as they may," is an adage that ought to be ob? served in such matters. The railroad authorities are shipping quite a quantity of iron to repair, some say rebuild, Six-and-Twenty bridge. The bridge in question is tho highest one in the State, being one hundred and seven? teen Teet above surface of water. It was extensively repaired about three years ago, and though not considered dangerous, it is too high to take any risks on. . _ JAT. flat Rock Items. Our pastor did not preach his sermon on money and temperance on laHt Sunday. Perhaps the resolutions adopted by the - church before preaching, and the com? munion service, caused him to select a dif? ferent subject; but we shall expect the money and temporance sermon next fourth Sabbath at 11 o'clock a. m., for be loves to talk money and temperance. Bev. B. Hays has now standing on his place one apple and one pear tree which were set out by Mr. Heaton over seventy years ago and are bearing. Old Flat Bock is not dead by any means, and I am proud of it. Just let anybody come out with a riing at her, and her mem? bers come to the rescue at once. She is always ready to dispense with evil and en? courage good. It is true she contains some antiea yet, but they are growing weaker, both in number and influence, and by Au? gust I think we will have quite a majority for prohibition. The edict published by the Trustees did not take worth a cent. She gave them to understand that they must keep within the bounds of reason, and not go beyond their jurisdiction. Bev. H. M. Allen preached quite an in? teresting sermon at this place last Sabbath , -^o'a well-filled house, which was listened Tto with much interest, after'which the Lord's Supper was administered. Bev. W. H. King assisted the pastor. While in conference the edict , of the Trustees was taken up, and a few remarks were made by Bev. W. H. King; The following pre? amble and resolutions were offered and adopted: Whereas, the Trustees of the property belonging to the Baptists and PresbyterianB of this community have given notice in the Anderson Journal of April 28th forbid , ding-certain things to be said and done in the church ; and, whereas, tbey have gone beyond their jurisdiction ; therefore, be it 1st. Resohcd, That it is the sense and feeling of this church, as a free and inde - pendent'body of believers in Christ, that we cannot and will not submit to and abide by their decision, as the Act of the Legis? lature of South Carolina of 1856 does not give to them the exclusive right and au? thority to say what is and what is not to be preached m our pulpit. 2nd. That we, the members of this church, respectfully submit that all-meet? ings of a religious tendency can be held within these walls without any infringe? ment upon the rights of said Trustees, del? egated to them by the Act of incorporation made by the Legislature of 1856. 3rd. That, as a chnrch, we heirtily, and in the, spirit of Christian kindness, disap? prove of their'act, -as they went beyond their jurisdiction. I f 4th. That we request the Anderson Jour? nal and Anderson Intelligencer to publish this preamble and resolutions, together with the Act of the' Legfslature"of 1856 ih 'COTporating-this church. The following is the Act of the Legisla? ture upon which the Trustees acted : "That A. H. Glenn, Willir; nffall, Samuel M.

Some have ploughed over their corn once, and are now ploughing it the second time, plant? ing peas as they go. Some have ploughed their cotton over once, and aro now put? ting their hoes into it. We have received some nice showers of rain lately, which are making the crops look well and farmers feel joyful. The flowers are in full bloom just now, and they doth send forth a most fragrant odor and smell to enrich the air all around us. Mr. P. H.

Miss Nannie Elliott has had a very severe attack of measles, but we .are all glad to know that she is improving fast just now, and will soon be up and able to go about again, to enliven and cheer up the people with her facicating nature. A protracted meeting began at Concord Church last Friday night; and continued until Sunday night. The meeting was conducted by Bev.

All who beard them spoke of them being fine sermons and well explained. Sinoer. Belton Items. The Teachers' Association, which con? vened at this place on the 7th inst., though not largely attended, was one of great in? terest. The greater number of those pres? ent participated in the discussions on the various topics of school work. i)r. S. Lan? der's admirable mode of presiding, backed by our School Commissioner's enthusiasm in school work, and the teachers' readiness to give their opinions on the methods of instruction, made the occasion highly in? teresting. During the progress of the meeting Gen. Del. Kemper read an essay on "English." The General set forth the conciseness, beauty and strength of our ! vernacular, as compared with other lan? guages. He showed himself to be master of his subject in a well chosen vocabulary, fine distinctions and nicely balanced sen? tences. Our young doctor, J. C.

Pioneer Company in taking part in the projected trip to Charlotte. The ladies propose having, in addition to these re? freshments, a "Mum Sociable," to which they invite anybody who wishes to ascer? tain what that is to come and find out. If you are a pretty good talker, bring plenty nickles in your pocket, for Judge Mum fines for all infringement of his laws. Ee j i sure to come and give the boys a generous contribution for their pleasure and profit. They all aid us when we are in trouble, i willingly and well. They deserve all we can dc for them, and this excursion seems > to promise them a good deal of pleasure, ana a little aid from all will not burden i any heavily. At all events, at the "Mum Sociable" you won't hear any dissenting opinions. Timely Suggestions. Mr. Editor : As the necessity for aCem- j etery has become urgent, and the most sui table locality is now occupying the close attention of our citizens, we would make1 tbe following suggestions: The soil should Be analyzed and its adap? tability for that purpose ascertained. For sanitary reasons it should be located be? yond the city limits. The road which leads to it should be as smooth and even as possible, and high and long bills especially avoided. Tbe place where the dead are burial should be located on a slight emi? nence, as a flat surface, where water rises, is very objectionable. We will here add that us "a city of the dead" naturally be? comes a place of resort, it should be located where the surroundings are attractive and susceptible of a high degree of improve? ment. As tbe future as well as the present is involved in tbis question, we feel confi? dent that tbe Council and an interested and generous public will give the matter due attention, and that the generations to come after us will have no cause to reflect upon any action they may take upon this matter. F. C. Fork Items. We have had splendid rains during the last few days, and was very glad to see it, as everything was beginning to look very thirsty. Cotton is now all up, and is ready for the farmers' most earnest attention. There is an ample supply of grass in eveiy di? rection. Corn looks as well or better than is common for this time of year. Wheat is still looking fine?it in headed out. Oats have come out wonderful since the rains?looks as if we will make a good crop yet, although there is not as many in the ground as there ought to be. There is a greater interest manifested in forage and early summer feed this spring than is common for this section?nearly every farmer has his share of it. It would be well if every one would take more in? terest in preparing feed for stook. Mr. Geo. Craft, the contractor for tbe iron bridge, is now with us, looking after ? his interest in the bridge. It is moving on slowly but surely towards completion. Dr. W. H. Nardin was in this section Sunday on professional business. Tbe pic nie at Anderson ville last Satur? day was quite a pleasant one in overy re? spect. Every one wore the face of joy and happiness, I must compliment tbe young ladies on their good looks and smiling faces which they carried for every one, also for their most bountiful and de? liriously filled baskets. When the day was well gone, every one departed towards their homes with a satisfied expression on their face that they had added one more pleasant day to their list and wishing for another in tbe near future. Ivos. 11 Eureka Items. The recent rains in our community have been sufficient for everything except oats. The wheat is heading out but will he very low. We have a beautiful stand of cotton, with a fine stem, except where the ground is either galled or too poor too sprout the seed. Tbe hoe will be applied very gener? ally tbis week. For the next two months there will be no rest for the weary, and at tbe end of tbe year very little money, if any, left him as a reward for his labor after expenses are taken out, unless there is a rise in the price of the commodity. The pic nie at Geer's Spring on last Sat day was highly enjoyed by all present. Eureka's family physician made himself useful, and others happy. A young lady asked if the Dr. was not a young widower. It did not only do all it.promised to do, but served as a grand salutatory to the one at Carpenters and Geer's mill on Saturday, 21st. We heartily urge upon all parents to come and bring their children with them. Remember it is a day for 'the benefit of the children. The speakers will be there. The health of our neighborhood still continues excellent. Tbe measles have nearly all disappeared. Those who had them are now afflicted with a moat rave? nous appetite. We are happy to state, so far as our knowledge extends, that there has been no death, ss yet, in the township from that con tagion. i Mr. John Nardin Kay, a worthy young man, and a son of the late Mr. Strother Kay, died with measles at Pelzer on the 27th of April, and was interred in the Neal's Creek graveyard the next day. in tbe presence of a large congregation of sor? rowing relative? ana friends, Rev. W. H. King conducting funeral services. Tbe Eureka Sunday School baunor ib still floating grandly in the breeges, and many still continue to flock thereunto, "like dove:, to their windows." Tbe diffi? culty In the way is a want of house room, and we do not now see how it is to be remedied, but Jevovah-Jireb. The Sunday School at Neal's Creek is in a most flourishing condition at the present. Indeed, it wore a splendid foliage of green through the winter. It is super? intended by Mr. D. D. Gentry. We un? derstand that the Rev. D. Weston Hio|.t, Sastor of the church, will be present next unday, but will not be able to preach, All will be glad to meet him, and would rejoice if he could be given back to them again in health, and in the power of his ]-:-;-: Mit. Editor: There has been a series ol peaching going on in this neighborhood, in a school house at the old Hay nie muster ground. Preaching begun last Monday night, and continued until Sunday night.

The school numbers seven? ty-five pupils, who are zealous in their Bible studies. Go on with your work, Bro. Shields, and God will bless you abun? dantly. Vakennes. Obituary. Died, near Townvillo, S. C, May 4th, of pneumonia, Adger, oldest son of Rev. T. C. Ligon, Pastoi of Townville Pres? byterian Church, aged 14 years. Again has death come into our midst and invaded the sacred precincts of a happy family circle and claimed for his own that one in whom were centered the hopes of a fond father and a doting mother. In the death of this bright and promising youth many cherished hopes, both of parents and friends, of future use? fulness m Church and State, are blasted. He had been for some months a student at the Townville Academy, and his was, without doubt, the brig! test mind that it has ever been the good fortune of the present Teacher to have under his care, as was evinced by the rapid progress made in every branch of study. By his manly conduct and gentlemanly deport? ment, he had greatly endeared himself to both trustees and pupils., and for one so young, he gave evidence of the possession of the qualities of that higher style of man, "a Christian gentleman." Some months ago he bad united with the Church of his fathers, and ever since had adorned his profession of faith. A few moments before his death his mother spoke to him about going to Heayen. He replied that he was almost there, and told her to lay her face close beside his, and thus he breathed out his life. Borne by six of his fellow pupils, accompanied by six girls bearing .wreaths and crosses of flowers, he was laid to rest, after ap? propriate funeral services by Rev. J. M. L. Seabrook and Bev. J , Walter Dickson, the whole school joining in singing at the grave, "Shall we gatheir at the River ?" Verily, "God moves in a mysterious way," and to his will we bow" feeling that the "Judge of all the earth will do right."_* ? * To the Ladies.
